Regional Data Libraries
aPriori Regional Data Libraries include region specific economic data for multiple regions of the world that is updated semi-annually.
aPriori Regional Data Libraries can be leveraged in customer Digital Factories by inheriting the relevant data, ensuring that semi-annual updates are easily integrated into customer Digital Factories. The manufacturing data is a representation of typical manufacturing practices and costs in that region to support the generation of benchmark cost estimates. Typical applications of benchmark estimates include:
- Fact-based supplier negotiation
- Benchmarking supplier quotes
- Assessing cost impact of sources components or tooling to various or new regions
- Developing early budgetary estimates and tracking to targets
- Estimating engineering change orders (ECOs) and design alternatives
